he wants to clear 2 spots to bring in his guys
he fires 2 guys, i said he should have waited
a week later 2 of our guys quit
now he has 4 holes to fill, had he waited a week he would have had room for his guys w/o firing anyone

Come on now. Did you even know who these guys were 24 hours ago? Let's not act like we just lost Carmen Policy and Ron Wolf. It was just two guys who we don't know how good or bad they were at their jobs. Those guys still could have left even if Tannenbaum was still the GM. Maybe San Diego offered them more money or a promotion? We don't know (and frankly I really don't care). Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill just because two scouts went to another team.

There are a few things I have realized about Mr. Jet over a few topics.

1) He is a racist. By constantly using race as a battling tool.
2) He is an extreme Liberal. If you are on either extreme you are probabaly more wrong than right.
3) He is one of those people who will never admit fault, error or defeat.
4)His life sucks and he takes it out on people who don't share in his views.

Wooden received a promotion, going from Assistant Director of Player Personnel to Director of Player Personnel.

Kelly is going from Mid-West region scout to Director of College Scouting.

Idzik didn't fire the first two guys (Mike Davis and Joe Bommarito), their contracts were not renewed.

Lets not jump to conclutions. Who said they were not going to be fired if they did not leave? Perhaps all 4 were not going to be here next year and those 2 had something in the pipeline so Idzik took the high road.

Another member of Mike Tannenbaum's inner circle is leaving the organization. On Monday, the Chargers announced the hiring of JoJo Wooden as their director of player personnel. It means three-fifths of the Tannenbaum Five is gone.

A quick review of changes to the Jets' football hierarchy over the past 12 months:

Tannenbaum, general manager: Fired after the season, replaced by John Idzik.

Scott Cohen, assistant GM: Remains with the team.

Joey Clinkscales, vice president, college scouting: Left last May to become the Raiders' director of player personnel, replaced by scout Jeff Bauer.

Terry Bradway, senior personnel executive: Remains with the team.

Wooden, assistant director of player personnel: Headed to the Chargers, along with area scout Kevin Kelly, hired as the director of college scouting.

Michael Davis, assistant director of college scouting: Contract not renewed last week.

So Idzik doesn't want his predecessors people there. I really don't see the issue.

You're the scumbag that thinks everyone should kiss the as$es of a bunch of criminals but I'm a dumbass. Yeah okay douchebag. Go give some illegal wetback or Revis another blowjob. But then again.....don't you live in an entirely different country but yet think you can tell us how to live? Go fvck yourself little boy. You're likely still living with mommy & daddy. Pu$$y.

I think he's Woody's guy. He predates everyone else in the organization.

He must have some dirt on Woody.

You never know what their dynamic is. Woody hired him as soon as he got the team. They probably have a history and a good working relationship. The Jets haven't been drafting badly in the past decades. Sure we've had some major misses (D Rob, Gholston) but we've also had some hits (Revis, Mangold). From the outside looking in, it's pretty hard to judge how good Bradway is at his job because when you miss, the blame gets passed around and when you hit, everyone takes credit. What's funny tho is that teams that do well, get praised for continuety and keeping the same faces in the same positions, when teams do poorly, everyone wants everyone to be fired. I don't have a problem with Bradway, I have a bigger problem with the fact that our HC, as fun a guy as he is, openly admits to having zero input on the offense... but he went on to spent a 5th overall pick on a QB as soon as he got here. Kinda makes you wonder, did he have a clue what he was looking at when he scouted Sanchez? Was Sanchez doomed from the start or would have he been a different player under a different coach? Who knows. Point being, a lot of blame for "busts" gets laid at the feet of scouting, while basically, their job is to guess how a player is going to perform in the future based on variables that are entirely outside of their control. They say a good weather man is right 40% of the time, I think if a scout is right 25% of the time, he's considered good.

I think the problem is the public views the draft picks in a very black and white, yes or no sort of way. But, the reality is a guy who contributes to the team in any sort of way is a successful pick. I don't think teams make every selection hoping that player will be a steal and develop into a superstar. Some guys are picked just to play special teams, some are picked just to rotate in on third downs, and some are picked just to be backups. They are all part of what makes a championship team.
